3.2 Operation Modes


3.2.1 Self-use
The Self-Use mode is for the regions with low feed-in tariff and high electricity
prices. The energy produced by the PV system is used to optimize
self-consumption needs. The excess energy is used to recharge the batteries,
any remaining excess is then exported to the grid.

Note: Advance Setting

When select 0 W under P_Feed menu, the inverter will export zero energy to the
grid.
When select xx W under P_Feed menu, the inverter will export customized
energy to the grid.

3.2.2 Time of Use


The Time of Use mode is designed to reward customers who do their part to
reduce demand on the electric grid, particularly during peak usage periods. Use
most of your electricity from PV energy and during off-peak time periods, and you
could significantly lower your monthly bill.

The inverters are designed for indoor and outdoor installation (IP65), to increase
the safety, performance and lifespan of the inverter, please select the mounting
location carefully based on the following rules:
• The inverter should be installed on a solid surface, far from flammable or
corrosion materials, where is suitable for inverter’s weight and dimensions.
• The ambient temperature should be within -25℃ ~ 60℃ (between -13 °F and
140°F).
• The installation of inverter should be protected under shelter. Do not expose
the inverter to direct sunlight, water, rain, snow, spray lightning, etc.

6. Power ON/OFF
Please check the following requirements before testing:
• Installation location is suitable according to Chapter 4.1.3.
• All electrical wires are connected tightly, including PV modules, battery and
AC side(Such as the grid side, EPS side, Gen side).
• Earth line and Smart meter/CT line are connected.
• AF-TH hybrid inverters should be set according to the required local grid
standard.
• More information please contact with Afore or distributors.
Maintenance&Trouble Shooting 36

6.1 Power ON
• Turn on DC switch.
• After LCD lighting, hybrid inverter should be set following Chapter 5.3 at the
first time.
• When inverter running under normal mode, Running indicator will light up(Ref.
to Chapter 5.1).

6.2 Power OFF


• Turn off DC switch ( in hybrid inverter) and all extra-breaker.

Note:
Hybrid inverter should be restarted after 5 minutes.

6.3 Restart
Restart Hybrid inverter, please follow steps as below:
• Shutdown the inverter Ref. to Chapter6.2.
• Start the inverter Ref. to Chapter 6.1.

7. Maintenance & Trouble Shooting


7.1 Maintenance
Periodically maintenance are necessary, please follow steps as below.
• PV connection: twice a year
• AC connection(Grid and EPS) : twice a year
• Battery connection: twice a year
• Earth connection: twice a year
• Heat sink: clean with dry towel once a year
